What do you like best?

GiveSmart offers tailored event support in any location. Their team will go to wherever your event is located. They were a tremendous help with our annual Gala last year in Hawaii. They are super friendly, they offer onsite event day and booth exhibit hall support to ease donors on auction bidding. Their website platform is super user friendly. They even offer a crowd funding platform to use free for one year with a contract for event support. The day of the event they have several team reps on hand to help with bidding and closeout. The whole event registration and closeout process was quick and efficient.

What do you dislike?

They could be a little pricey, around $8,000 so be sure your event needs support and could raise more money then cost of their support. Our event raises about $50,000 so with the cost of the platform we made about $40,000.
